Made this for dinner last night and it was a hit! The only thing I did differently was use shredded Mexican style cheese in place of the fake processed cheese food called for. Was out of Cheddar or I would have used that. I also added a 1/2 cup of French fried onions to the cracker crumbs, other that that I stuck to the recipe. I can't say we'll have it too often because of all the fats in it but it will definitely be a now and then special occasion treat. My son had his bottle of wing sauce ready in case it lacked flavor for him but he didn't use it after all. Yummy stuff! One plus was no cans of soup in this recipe!

My husband and I absolutely love this! It is creamy, very flavorful, and overall satisfying. And I agree, that it is even better as a leftover. For whatever reason, my kids aren't as crazy about it, but will eat it. We use less rice, and if you are a non-processed cheese kind of person, you can leave out the Velveeta. Just add another cup of milk, 1/4c butter and 1/4c flour. The mixture without the Velveeta is equally amazing.

Very yummy. This will replace my cream of chicken soup recipe I usually make for dinner. I used Cheddar Cheese not Velveeta (personal preference) and boiled the rice in stock. Next time I will try adding some frozen veggies and string the mixture into the rice before baking. I may have made mine too thick, but it didn't get all the way down into the pan of rice. It was still really good.

I made this with some leftover chicken and my husband said it was the best chicken & rice I've ever made! I used French fried onions & bacon flavored bread crumbs for the topping and it was so good! Thank you for sharing!
